The movie crams in myriad needless subplots -- ostensibly to provide padding, which only draws attention to how thin the original story really is…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Mark Keizer (225) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 07 Nov 2008

What keeps this medium-grade formula picture from coming to a complete stop are the precious crumbs of genuinely funny comedic banter between…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Wilson Morales (206) for BlackFilm.com (211) on 07 Nov 2008

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 07 Nov 2008

Samuel L. Jackson continues his tradition of inventive facial hair in Soul Men. And his tradition of appearing in movies unworthy of his talent…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 07 Nov 2008

Director Lee bets everything on chemistry, and gets a decent pay-off from the casting of Jackson and Bernie Mac…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 07 Nov 2008

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Matt Stevens (135) for E! Online (838) on 07 Nov 2008

Mac and Jackson clearly have such a blast singing and dancing you can't help but feel their groove. The rest of the movie should have jived as well…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 07 Nov 2008

Bernie Mac's death doesn't make Soul Men any better, but it may make it worth seeing…

There's a raunchy energy to Soul Men that cannot be denied…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

Mac was a magnetic performer with a long history of redeeming mediocre movies; unfortunately this is another one…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 07 Nov 2008

Mac could have wished for better for his final film, but this is a picture about entertainers and damned if he isn't one…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 06 Nov 2008

This is not just one of the worst movies of the year (which it would have been whether Mac and Hayes were still alive or not) but one of the…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Erik Childress (902) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 06 Nov 2008

If the Weinsteins had any soul themselves they would take this film and bury it along with every other film they seem to these days instead…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 06 Nov 2008

It'd be a step up if we could call this a poor Odd Couple knockoff, but it's not even that good: it's more like a juvenile grossout comedy…

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 06 Nov 2008

No matter what else is going on in Soul Men, it's difficult not to be moved by the posthumous performances of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for tonymedley.com (461) on 06 Nov 2008

The only laugh in this demeaning film filled with vulgar language is unintended; the amateurish scene trying to hide the fact that neither…

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 06 Nov 2008

Soul Men has soul, but expects too much of its charismatic stars…

Review of Soul Men (2008)

By Katey Rich (412) for CinemaBlend (829) on 06 Nov 2008

A tribute to a musical era gone by as well as Mac's career, Soul Men is highly imperfect but also hugely enjoyable…
